I think you got it backwards.

My experience says this:

Moonroof = any see-through glass panel that opens, be it tilt or slide.

Sunroof = Panel in the same place, painted on the outside. Not made of glass.

actually a moonroof is where you just pop up the window on top and i just slides up a lilunlike a sunroof is electrical, push the button and the window will pop up and slide away. i think....:ylsuper:D

i believe that moonroofs slide out of the way (makes sense if u wanna look at the stars), and a sunroof can pop-up and/or slide out

My coupe has a pop-up moonroof, but I really think that it isn't stock, seeing as how I don't have a dome light...

I recently had a pointless arguement with a friend about the difference between sunroof and moonroof, so I got bored at work and looked it up.It seems sunroofs are no longer made, they were not see through just metal that could be tilted.Moonroofs are tinted glass that can be opened or tilted. However some moonroofs have a cover on the inside that blocks the sun making it a kind of sunroof, but its still called a moonroof.WEBSITE ---> http://ask.yahoo.com/ask/20030617.html
